Research has used MT-1 to characterise these melanin-independent photoprotection mechanisms and establishing that MC1R activation provides a layer of cellular UV protection through DNA repair enhancement and oxidative stress reduction thats distinct from and additive to the physical UV-screening function of melanin pigmentation

This layer stabilises the liposomes: it prevents the droplets from clumping together during production, storage and transport, and ensures the structure remains intact until the product reaches its destination in the body

Initially, with a purity of 98%, BSA was dissolved in a sodium phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.4) containing 0.02% sodium azide as a preservative

Blocking by these agents can be achieved by restricting the activation of carcinogens to their carcinogenic form, inducing the enzyme system that can detoxify carcinogens, and by reacting with carcinogens and stopping their reaction with the cellular targets (359, 360)
